See, this is why I can't enjoy a freakin' vacation

Admittedly, I find this pretty funny. I hurried myself back to Madison, thinking there were going to be a million things to do and take care of, and then I got here and realized that class doesn't started till the 20th, and most folks aren't coming back till at least mid next week. Which isn't that far NOW, but it was far last week. . . And I'm completely embedded in procrastination.

I should somehow get my spring semester settled. See,

1. The lab I'm going to work in won't really be ready till, at best, March.

2. We are supposed to be in a lab directly after February, so at least there the two coincide.


What's tempting is to just take advantage of the extra time between now and March. Alternatively, I could either keep working in my last lab rotation lab on a cool, but unrelated project. OR I could get my ass together and start formulating my project that i can perhaps start working on in someone else's lab until our lab is ready. I'd prefer the latter only because I could get started on some thesis work instead of losing time.

Ok, so Amber needs to start the e-mails again. To my advisor, to the department secretary, oh yeah, and to my rotation PI's to let them know what my decision is. I also need to mail Sam & Barrie's christmas presents, because I keep forgetting to go to Parcels Plus when it's open. I also need to contact evil Huntington bank and tell them to shut down my freakin' checking account because I haven't used it for a year. Eventually determine when I need to change registration, etc. to count as a resident of WI--the car is in both mom and my names, so maybe it can stay for awhile. Need to change the oil again. Need to do my laundry, as well as put all my clothes and toiletries back where they belong. Return my lab notebook to the lab, after making sure it's complete. Get my character sheet for D&D printed out and re-organized. . . .blargh.

And despite having a whole week alone just to accomplish the petty stuff, I feel overwhelmed again, and end up not wanting to do anything but sleep too much, eat too much, and play Zelda: Majora's Mask.

I AM ON VACATION!!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!! And it's not any fun, because even now I'm not on vacation. But I'm whining. It's in my hands to get all this stuff done.

Also, I have no money, and I want to go sledding but don't have a short but warm coat for sledding. Damn. Also don't have a sled, or anyone who'd want to go sledding with me. Do I even have a hill to sled on?!
